[Intro]
Tiptoe, tiptoe
Tiny shoes in the dirt
Count the names on the stones
Like you’re doing your homework (shh)
[Verse 1]
Story time, gather ‘round
One by one, sit down
See that smile painted wide?
That’s the clown under ground
Red balloons, rotten cake
Broken swings by the gate
Hear him giggle in the fog
Every wish is a mistake
Little fingers in the dust
Tracing letters in the rust
He’s the joke you never get
‘til he’s chewing on your trust (ha)
[Chorus]
Graveyard lullaby, close your eyes
Joker gonna tuck you in tight tonight
If you hear that laugh, don’t ask why
Just pray you wake up on the other side
Graveyard lullaby, don’t you cry (don’t cry)
Demon do a slow dance in your mind
If you feel cold hands, hold them right
Graveyard lullaby, graveyard lullaby
[Verse 2]
Underneath the slide, something sings
Trading little teeth for shiny rings
Hide and seek, never say his name
Or you’re staying here, stuck in the game
Demon in a party hat, counting sheep
Every time you blink, he’s in too deep
Black balloons in the birthday sky
Every pop is another goodbye (bye-bye)
[Chorus]
Graveyard lullaby, close your eyes
Joker gonna tuck you in tight tonight
If you hear that laugh, don’t ask why
Just pray you wake up on the other side
Graveyard lullaby, don’t you cry (hush now)
Demon do a slow dance in your mind
If you feel cold hands, hold them right
Graveyard lullaby, graveyard lullaby
